231. Fight for survival vs. greed
Latona memorized everything on the paper.
She is holding a small badge in her left hand, and she can convey different messages to others through different tapping methods.
She had just knocked a few times to convey to Hervin that Garrett was not here.
Now all you have to do is get out of here and tell Herwin what he's written down.
Latona walked over to the door and reached for the doorknob.
She didn't turn it around.
It's so quiet.
Latona glanced at the door panel, which was not made of standard soundproofing material.
She closed her eyes and listened for a few seconds.
The sound of breathing, the sound of a heartbeat.
Except for the sound of footsteps.
She let go of the doorknob.
Latona slowly stepped back to the pink children's desk.
Two quick taps in quick succession indicate that you are in danger.
But she didn't want Herwin to come down, because now she couldn't be sure if the other party would get out unscathed, and that might alarm Garrett.
No matter what happens, there will be no danger for yourself in the short term.
She also needs Hervin to heal her daughter.
There is another method of tapping.
Latona took out all the papers and put them on the ground, then pulled a pen out of her pocket and wrote a few words.
Finally, she pressed the badge on top of the document.
She quickly tapped eight times in three different places, and in an instant the files disappeared in place without a sound.
Together with the coat of arms.
She brushed her hair through her hands and walked back to the door.
Turn the handle.
Several men in riot suits rushed in from both sides of the door, grabbed her hand directly behind her, twisted it behind her, and pressed it to the ground.
"What are you doing!" Latona shouted angrily.
Security Minister Sexton was expressionless:
Under normal circumstances, nothing would have made Latona give up her time with her daughter. β
Latona shouted:
"I have an urgent matter to report to the director. β
Sexton snorted:
"What's the matter? I don't think you're very anxious, no, I should say you're nervous, you can't hide it from me, compare them to pay me to do this, find all possible instability. β
Latona was silent for a moment.
She's brewing emotions.
"Because I don't know if I should do it or not. β
Sexton just looked at her.
Latona lay on the ground and said:
"I've found news about Lilith, Experiment Eight. β
Sexton asked:
"You don't know what you should do?"
Latona's eyes drooped, revealing just the right amount of struggle:
"She's just a kid, and you know what Garrett did, and you know how inhumane it was, and I can't give him the decision on whether or not to give him the news, but if I have to tell him, I must not wait, or he'll kill me, and if you don't let me tell him, Garrett will kill both of us. β
Sexton asked:
"What news. β
Latona uttered the answer that Hervin had told her:
"The city of Firth, where there are traces of Lilith's life. β
Sykes says:
"You shouldn't hesitate, you know that the Precursor Institute shouldn't be bound by mundane morals, and you shouldn't even think about reporting it.
"Number 8 is the property of the Institute. β
Latona's voice was cold:
"That's a person, and I'm a person. β
Sexton was not shaken:
"Transcending humanity and breaking human boundaries, this is our accusation, you are the head of the research department, if everything is true, it is estimated that there will be no problem. β
He used the word estimation because the person who made the decision was a madman.
"Ms. Latona, now we need to grieve you, you must stay in your cell until the results of the investigation are in, and now, send Ms. Latona to her cell, and be careful not to hurt her. β
Security personnel pulled Latona up from the ground and escorted her away.
Sexton watched her departing back.
He didn't quite believe Latona's words, and Sexton was able to sniff out unusual questions, and Latona was very unusual at the moment.
Aaron City Library.
"Miss Lei borrowed some books. β
The skull on Sgate's chest flashed green in his eyes.
"'Monster Archetypes,' 'Ancient Truths,' 'Seven Days', these are the three books that haven't been returned, and two of them are books by an author named Hevendelenge. The administrator said.
"The last time she came to the library. β
"It's been three days. The Administrator replied submissively.
Sgate nodded slightly.
Out of some peculiar feeling, he didn't just leave, but walked around the library.
The next step was to take out Rei's heart and Iona's brain.
In order to keep the ingredients fresh, it is best to gather two people together and do it, take it out and save it immediately, and then give it to the stickman to cook.
What about sequential selection?
Do you get Kelly and Hola first, or do you deal with the two of them first?
That's right, he didn't plan to complete just one extra requirement, and there was no limit to the stickman anyway, so it would be better to hand over Hola and the two girls to the stickman together.
Anyway, the extra wish should be able to block the pursuit of Hevendelenge, and then he can't find the real murderer at all, and in the face of the stickman's power beyond the gods, a weak demigod is nothing.
Sgate suddenly looked at a bookshelf, and there was one book that set it apart from the others.
It's captivating itself, trying to make itself look at it.
Sgate shook his head, now is not the time to read.
He took a step toward the bookshelf.
Sgate's eyes widened in horror, he couldn't control his body anymore.
It's not that the book is attractive at all, it's that the book has stretched out its huge claws, grabbing him and dragging it in the direction of the book.
Sgate couldn't restrain his progress, and even though he had uttered the forbidden incantation that was sacrilegious, he was still driven to move by an indescribable force.
He walked over to the bookshelf.
His hands spontaneously reached for the particular book.
"Fate" - Hervendelenge.
He opened the book.
There were a few pieces of paper mixed in.
The top ones looked like some strange ritual, but he couldn't understand what it did.
But there is a later addition to these sheets.
"This is my modified stickman seal, Sgate White, and I know you're completely different from your great ancestor, so I don't expect you to give up your desire to do what is right.
"But Edward's blood still flows through you, justice and goodness are indispensable to you, and of course, evil and madness are too, stickmen have defiled your blood, distorted your history, and the blood of demons and angels roared in your body at the same time.
"It's also unfortunate to say, after all, if you rely on Edward's angelic bloodline, the minimum achievement in your generation is the fifth order, and the legend will not be illusory, but after being tainted, it will be difficult for your family to reach the legend. β
No, not even the Fifth Order.
"You are an evil man, but also a good man, and the blood of angels and demons affects your mind at the same time, and as a warlock you have to endure this insignificant price, don't you?
"But don't you resent it? The stickman, in revenge for Edward's fooling of your family, has made the descendants of an angelic warlock think that he has always been a wicked family, and has cut off your path to longevity, and it is taking revenge on Edward in its own wayβtorturing his descendants.
"You think you found it? No, it found you! Your ancestors sealed it, and now it's coming for you for revenge!
"You don't do good deeds for the sake of justice, but what if it's for survival?What's more, what if I told you that if you seal the stickman with the ritual I changed, you can rise to the rank of legend and even glimpse the higher realms?
"For your greed, for the sake of living, do a good deed, and if you don't believe it, look at Mr. Edward's words.
"An insignificant atoning man. β
Sgate turned to the last page with trembling hands.
